Dave Winer would agree with you:

November 2010: http://scripting.com/stories/2010/11/11/didYouInventRss.html January 2007: http://scripting.com/scripting2/davewiner/2007/01/02/rssWasn...

Here’s one characterization by someone else that he seems to approve of:

“[RSS] grew out of a good idea in 1997 from the software company Userland that got picked up and melded with one of Netscape's similar ideas.”

While you might still think that Dan Libby deserves more credit than Winer, this is a far cry from claiming that he invented RSS.
